FWIW I’m working on setting up a Guix+Cuirass build farm at the MDC, and the goal is to eventually make it available to the public. Initially we will restrict building to a subset that we use most often (all the science stuff), but this will result in extra substitutes for packages lower in the graph. Ultimately, though, we ought to distribute the workload better, and “guix publish” already helps with this. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
